About the Club . . .

We'd like to welcome you into our website and introduce you to the Eccles Caravan Owners Club. Eccles is one of the oldest and most respected names in British Caravanning, manufactured nowadays by Sterling Caravans a member of the Swift Leisure Group. In 2009 we celebrated 90 years of Eccles caravans.

                

The club is an independent club run by its members for its members and the Eccles Caravan Owners Club is one of the longest surviving single brand owners clubs, with its roots going back to the 1930's, the early days of Caravanning. The present club was reformed in 1969 and therefore 2009 saw the double celebration of 90 years of Eccles caravans and 40 years of the Eccles Caravan Owners Club.

We are purely a social organisation and meet generally once a month at rally sites in different locations, generally in the Midlands/South West area, although we often rally elsewhere. In recent years we have also had continental rallies to Bavaria, Lake Garda, Brittany and Rhineland/Luxembourg. Take a look at our Rally programme for further information about this year's rallies.

Do think about joining us, you'll find we have a full programme of events and rallies suitable for weekend breaks and as part of your holiday. If you're new to caravanning, joining a club is an excellent way of picking up tips from "older hands". We have members from most parts of England and Wales but sadly none at present in Scotland although we have had holiday rallies there in recent years. Rallies are very informal, friendly affairs, a meeting of like-minded caravanners, many of whom have formed close friendships and new members are always made to feel welcome. Some rallies are held on commercial sites with all the normal facilities, some are held in basic rally fields, but they all have one thing in common - - a friendly welcome and the freedom to do your own thing.
